ABSTRACT:
The Transparent Shoe Cover is an open soled or partially open soled cover for boots, dress shoes, and most particularly sport shoes. The shoe cover provides a temporary and transferable see through protective shield to preserve the attractive appearance, enhance the wear life, and further the life span of costly footwear.
The cover generally includes a durable, transparent material which covers the partial sole, outer sole, upper and side portions of the shoe. A toe hold is utilized to hold the cover in place at the toe portion of the shoes. Additionally, an adaptable retention is utilized near the heel or rear instep of the shoe to hold the cover onto the shoe and prevent slipping of the cover during normal activity or movement by the wearer. The adaptable retention provides the stretch and adaptability necessary to enable the shoe cover to fit a wide range of shoe shapes and sizes. The shoe cover leaves the majority of the sole open, thereby, enabling the wearer to utilize the traction portion of the actual shoe's sole.
